When planning a trip or even just deciding to take one, it is helpful for others to share their experiences. We benefit from the goofs and victories of others. They benefit from ours. But, in the end, it is our trip.
A friend may think kissing the Blarney Stone was the highlight of their trip to Ireland. For another it was seeing the Book of Kells at Trinity College. For another it might be sighting Fungi in Dingle Harbor.
We take that information and use it in planning, but all the while we keep in mind our own style of travel and our sense of how to spend our limited time. You can only see so much and process it. That is true at home and in Austria.
Do we regret not taking the time to see something when close to it? Yes. From time to time we do. But, we attempt to temper our disappointment with what surprises we actually had with the same amount of time. You can either try to do it all or try to do what you do well.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME
This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.
